The JNU administration has increased a few PhD seats at some of its centres and schools, amid continuing strike of students union against “massive” seat cut in MPhil and PhD courses.
All the increased seats come under the centres and schools of Sciences stream, while no seats have been increased in social sciences, arts and aesthetics, and language literature and culture studies, sources said.
The students organisations including JNUSU and ABVP said that the seats were increased after corrections in calculations and there was “no actual increase” as such.
